Since God is the all loving, forgiving God, why is it that he kicked Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden?

Apparently the fruit wasn't the only thing they weren't supposed to eat ((((((((Jabs))))))))) EDIT - lol, well give them their due, they were new to this whole "life" business - they probably thought talking animals and weird men's voices in their heads was normal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bQZ6l_cq... EDIT - Michael Cullis I've known the asker for over a year now and have always found his principles to be solid. And you should stretch your brain a little and make the effort to answer instead of name-calling and deflection.

I guess Adam would have needed to speak 'parseltongue' to even understand it...or I guess Eve did. IDK about back then but I would think it was cool to talk to snakes...maybe it was really the 'good guy' and w/o it to protect us, that sadist psychopath deity (YHWH) was free to give the 'chosen ones' a helluva time. Then the Xians came along to continue the damage.

@ Michael Cultis, I have read BOTH Genesis creation stories in the Bible...They differ slightly but no mention of what you said. I assume you read that from the book Santa dropped down the chimney and somehow it landed on your head? Regardless, w/o knowledge of what was good or evil, how would they know what the snake said was 'bad'?

Do you not know how to ascertain the meaning of a sentence despite all your extracurricular reading?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
